On Thursday, December 20th — one of the busiest travel day of the holiday season — airport workers and their community supporters will hand out free “Who Makes our Airport Work” coloring books and crayons to kids and their parents at Sea-Tac Airport. So instead of asking “are we there yet,” kids can enjoy drawings, puzzles, and games that feature the cabin cleaners, fuelers, baggage handlers, taxi drivers and wheelchair agents who make Sea-Tac work, through drawings, puzzles and games. The coloring book is also available online here. http://bit.ly/airportcoloringbook

The Sea-Tac Airport Activity Book includes a connect-the-dots wheelchair agent, a fueler maze, a good-jobs word find, and other pages that help tell the real story of Sea-Tac – a first class-airport with thousands of poverty-class jobs. Many of these low-wage workers recently filed 140+ pages of complaints that has prompted a mass investigation by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries into serious health and safety issues involving these same workers.

Along with the coloring book, Working Washington is sponsoring a coloring contest. Kids can submit their drawings and the best ones will be posted on the organization’s website for all to see.

Working Washington fast food strikers sparked the fight that won Seattle's landmark $15 minimum wage. We drove Amazon to sever ties with right-wing lobby group ALEC and improve conditions in their sweatshop warehouses. And we helped lead the winning campaign in SeaTac for a $15 living wage.
